  1. Eggs released in the environment are at risk from many threats. This Primer explores a new @PLOSBiology study showing how #plastid -derived #carotenoid crystals benefit larval survival & trans-oceanic dispersal in #SeaUrchin eggs. Paper: plos.io/4mOAxZh Primer: plos.io/4cPpBGr

  2. Development in the sea is tough and can end in starvation. This study shows that #SeaUrchin eggs contain a #plastid -derived structure whose light-dependent activity influences phytohormone & lipid metabolism, as well as offspring development & survival @PLOSBiology plos.io/4mOAxZh

  3. The evolutionary history of plant #plastid & #mitochondrial proteomes reveals that major changes in #organelle biology may have facilitated #plant diversification and the emergence of major lineages such as land plants @Parthkr21 @watertoland #PLOSBiology plos.io/3wngsUn
